El día del amor alrededor del mundo

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge holds a posey of red roses and Valentine's Day presents given to her by eight-year-old Jaqson Johnston-Lynch (L) after her visit to charity The Brink, an alcohol-free bar which is a social enterprise run primarily to help people recovering from drink and drug addiction.

Saint Valentine's Day is clouded by various fanciful legends. Exactly for whom the holiday is named for is still a mystery. One thing that is clear is that the celebration of love is the intention of the holiday. Once only celebrated in a handful of nations, cupid has spread around the world and celebrated and reviled in many cultures these days.
